Geocache Description:


A Flight into History


Stage 1 is located at the listed coordinates. Once, there, you will answer five questions with the correct historical year. Once you have the years, add each digit together and SUBTRACT by the number in parenthesis. There, you will find the coordinates for the actual hidden cache.


Example: Martin+Osa clothing line established: 2006 (4) So add 2+0+0+6=8. Subtract by 4, and the answer is 4.



A) (10) Octave Chanute born.
B) (19) Chanute collaborated with four towns; Tioga, Alliance, New Chicago, and Chicago Junction. Later, these towns became Chanute, Kansas.
C) (22) Chanute moved to Chicago and started projects in aviation.
D) (17) Chanute’s First biplane design was established.
E) (9) Wright Brothers’ Kitty Hawk Flight that made history.

Stage 2 is a little different. If you would like, you can visit the Martin and Osa Safari Museum for fun, but since there is an admission fee to get in, I am going to have you look up Martin and Osa on Wikipedia. Go to Martin and Osa’s bio. Once there, you will answer 5 additional questions and subtract by the number in parenthesis.



F) ( 9) Martin and Osa Johnson married.
G) ( 9) First Safari
H) (14) Martin and Osa met the Duke and Duchess of York in Northern Kenya.
I) (11) Martin and Osa learned to fly at the Chanute Municipal Airport.
J) (11) Simba:King of the Beasts released.

The cache will be a micro. The log are some punched out circles that fit better in the container than some lined paper. Please let me know when the log is full. Please BYOP. Have fun and Happy Caching!

The coordinates for the actual cache location are: N 37° A.B.C.D.E. W 095° F.G.H.I.J.
